Glueing down cabin carpet?

[77SceptreOB]

In the cabin of my Sceptre I've got the original thin, white,(rabbit hair-like) carpet. Some of it is starting to peal off. I want to re-glue it back on.

Anybody know of a good adhesive to use? Any good or bad experiences?

Two Choices:
A. Contact cement- Not my first choice, but effective.

B. 3M Spray Artist Adhesive- my choice, because it provides options for the future!

I used a flooring cement on my Seafari years ago - cheap and you could trowel it on.

I sell carpet and Bushwacker brought in some mouse fur to match up. Nylon and not too heavy. Roberts makes a good quality glue which is "takeapartable". Contact cement would work. I`m not familiar with the product that BigLew recommended, but look at that as well.

Clean w/ acetone and alcohol and allow to dry well before install.

I'm not familiar with 3M's artist adhesive, but I've used their Super 77 adhesive which is a spray on contact cement that is very easy to work with... ...if you're acustomed to working with contact cements. Spray it on both parts. Let it dry tack free. Press the parts together. And don't expect to pull them apart again. So you have to get it right the first time.

Should work well on the carpet. I've got some sagging carpet in the cabin of my 25 Seafari, and some Super 77 laying around, and that's what I'll do when I get to that on my "to do" list.
Good Luck,
Dave
